So Sorry you've had this experience! Please do not give up! i agree with the other wise and wonderful posters that it would be better to check out her credentials perhaps. i think she should have checked your boundaries before doing any of this. i also don't think it was good to not let you know that this would have been Family Counseling. i think you should talk about this with your mother and let her know that you perhaps prefer doing therapy on a one on one session. i Hope this won't discourage you from trying other therapists. It can be hard but there are some Good ones out there. Please do keep us updated if you want to. Stay Safe. Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @snakeswithhats, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
